Thank you to the member from Niagara Falls. I said in my statement today that this was created by Mike Harris, and we’re seeing, just in that family alone, the money that is being made. The people across the long-term-care system, the for-profit—we’re seeing the money that is being made and what that does to the seniors’ care, and every little thing that’s extra, the seniors are paying for once again. I don’t know where the government thinks that seniors who are living—and so many of them below the poverty line are expected to be able to pay for services without the support necessary.

So it’s for-profit. It’s making a lot of people very rich. But it’s not helping the people it’s supposed to serve.

So there are so many challenges that people who need these PSW services face that are just not taken into consideration by this government. When you have a for-profit system, the shareholders and the stakeholders are only there for profit. At the end of the day, they want their return and it doesn’t matter, by the looks of it, what system is given to the province of Ontario. Patients and seniors and people with disabilities in our province deserve so much better than to be put at the end of the line and profit at the beginning.

So I’m not sure where it is confusing that we don’t trust them to put forward legislation that actually benefits the people of this province. We have serious concerns with pretty much every piece of legislation that they put forward, and that’s not just because it’s theirs, it’s because of what it’s written in: It’s written in the people of Ontario’s blood. It’s a mess. It is a mess, and we have seen it time and time again.

The government needs to get off the privatization track and actually invest in public health care instead of breaking it.
